Havana Kids Attractions

There are many fun places for children in Havana, both
educational and recreational. The Acuario Nacional has dolphin and
seal shows, while the Camara Obscura will give them a great look at
the city through its telescopic lens. The Isla del Coco amusement
park, located in Playa, is the largest in Havana and good fun for
the whole family.

There are a few parks in Old Havana with play areas for
children. Some have entry fees, but these are usually in Cuban
Pesos and amount to a few cents. Lenin Park is enormous, and has
everything from swimming pools and horseback riding to a zoo and an
amusement park. Parque La Maestranza in Old Havana is less
extensive, but has play areas, pony rides and a train ride.

There are also plenty of stunning wilderness areas close to
Havana, such as the Montemar Natural Park, which make for good
family excursions and daytrips. Kids seem to particularly love the
crocodile farm at Montemar.

Havana is a colourful, laid-back and friendly city which makes
it a good destination if you are travelling with kids in Cuba. Just
walking around the bustling streets and strolling along the
promenade will be amusing for the whole family. And the beaches
will delight everyone.
